Many of you may know this weapon by a different name: the notorious PKM Russian machine gun. Having the privilege of spending some time with this beauty, thanks to the generosity of Brian Holt, I can tell you that the quality of this beast should be top notch. While it's no secret that Echo1 partnered with A&K to produce the Rifle Dynamics HMG, for those not stuck in the past and with their head stuck up in "dark places," you would already know that Echo1 takes a stock gun and adds their own enhancements, upgrades and/or personal touches on it.

Perhaps the most obvious enhancement to the Echo1 version over the A&K version is the presence is legitimate licensing by famed American AK builder, Rifle Dynamics. So you're likely to see some nice (and legal) trademarks on the Echo1 HMG.

This logo is a registered trademark of Rifle Dynamics.

Other, more inconspicuous enhancements that Echo1 typically does, include beefing up the internal parts of the gearbox and hop-up, including a battery and charger, and sometimes they even include a case for the gun to be transported safely, though not the case with the HMG (see what I did there?). With Pyramyd Air being pretty much a full-line dealer of Echo1 products, I wouldn't be shocked to see it listed in their machine guns section soon. So keep an eye out for that.
